Woodside Energy Group Ltd. has resumed commissioning work at its $12 billion Scarborough liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project off the coast of Western Australia. The project was temporarily halted over the weekend after Greenpeace protesters gained unauthorized access to the Scarborough floating production unit. The incident has since been resolved, allowing the company to restart its activities, according to a statement released on Monday.
The Scarborough project, one of Australia’s largest natural gas ventures, had faced delays due to the protest. Woodside, Australia’s biggest natural gas exporter, did not provide further details on the nature of the resolution or the extent of the disruption caused by the protesters. The company’s statement focused on confirming the restart of commissioning activities.
